I completely agree. This was in bad taste. At least wait for DNSimple to have their service back up.

Re:The Game of Startups: Are You Playing to Win?: Multifaceted on Tuesday June 17, 2014 @04:59PM (#7906965)

I completely agree with the line, "Treat the stock options like a lottery ticket. You should work for your startup because you believe in the founder's vision, not because you think you will get rich". Bad behavior (hopping to startup to startup looking for the pot at the end of the rainbow) leads to poor loyalty and high hiring costs. If you are not passionate about the business itself, then don't take the offer.

Re:I want to get into startups, but I don’t know where to start on Wednesday March 05, 2014 @12:25PM (#7348252)

Do you want to work at one or start one?

Nothing is better than going to a hackathon or a Startup Weekend. My first Startup Weekend is where I caught the startup bug.

If you want to work for one, check out Readyforce if you are a student or Angel.co if you are experienced.
